💥 Messi Sets New Records at Copa America
Just off the bat at Copa America’s opener against Canada, Lionel Messi was on fire, rewriting the record books yet again. He’s now taken the throne for the most appearances in the tournament’s storied history, hitting the pitch for the 35th time. 🐐
And talk about making an impact—Messi has amassed the highest number of goal contributions in major international showdowns. We’re counting 26 goals and 28 assists, totaling an impressive 54 G/A in the World Cup and Copa America combined. 👑
But wait, there’s more! Messi’s knack for setting up goals is unmatched. He’s dished out a whopping 373 assists across all competitions, a record no one else has touched. 🤯
And he’s not done yet. In this year’s Copa America, he made history as the first player to deliver assists in seven different editions of the competition. Now, that’s what I call consistency! 🥶
